IU Banners

[GR8IUFAN]

You know how purdue fans (and others) cringe everytime IU fans give them the 5-0 and talk about the banners? They say it's in the past and they are collecting dust. How it has been 35 years since the last one. Well the reason those banners are cherished is because IT IS SO HARD TO WIN ONE. An injury here or a couple of bad calls there or like last night a team that has no business really being in the tournament wins. FDU played out of there as well as they could and purdue didn't play their best.
And what happens? They lose again again and again. That's why IU loves those banners.

I'm old enough to have seen 6 final 4's and 3 championships. Would like to see one of each before I move on.

I’m approaching 40 fast and can’t remember a one of them. Disgusting. Soon there won’t be any one left to talk about them.

Has beens versus the never weres. The rest of the country couldn't care any less about us. Well, I guess PU made it into the news this week....

Those banners are a stark reminder of what we no longer are.

I was 10 in 1976. I don’t think I’ll see another one.

At the end of the day it comes down to coaches. Woodson is ok but likely needs very superior talent like crean to advance. Sampson can go to a shitty conference and still advance far he is a great coach just a shitty person. And this pont it all comes down to woodsons recruiting. He needs monster classes the next two years imo.

Coaching is part of it but even Knight didn’t hang banners every year. It’s an elusive combination of coaching and talent and just much more difficult than I think many people give credit for. And in a win-or-go-home tournament format, luck plays a large role. Don’t know if Woodson will get it done but have not given up on him. Next couple of seasons will tell.

Woodson is going to be 65 and has a major rebuild on his hand. I hope to god we get more speed and shooting or will be in trouble again.

70? Maybe 80 . I don't see him staying much longer on his own call. Why would he ? Next yr isn't going to be pretty

Miami’s coach is 73.

Miami’s coach is 73.

He is in reality younger than Woodson though.

Next year is a huge rebuild. Woodson was luckiy as heck trace stayed both years. We are about to see how good a coach woodson really is.

Doesn’t fit the definition of reality 😂
